Release Grand Theft Auto 6 to PC on the same day as the Console Release

The Issue

I have always found it weird that Rockstar are the only game company to still do what I call "exclusive launches" and treat PC players like secondary targets. Well no more. 

If it works, this petition will mean that GTA 6 likely comes to PC via the Steam Store on the same day as it does for consoles, which helps change the future for the better by creating a fairer gaming environment for all. We are also at risk of story spoilers by people online. This is the one way to prevent that. 

If we don't do anything, Rockstar will continue to neglect a very large portion of their community for years to come, and people like you and me will be forced to pay several hundred pounds/dollars on consoles to be able to enjoy a game that can run equally well on PCs. No community should ever be treated the way we are. 

Furthermore, letting them continue with this sets a bad example to other companies. Eventually more and more will prioritize console when there's just as much to be made on PC. 

For a game as culturally significant as this, we need change. 

I was looking forward to Game 6 for so long, but when Trailer 1 dropped and I saw no PC announcement, I was heartbroken. I didn't thnk that Rockstar would keep the "console only" path when all other companies had moved away from that. 

This is just proof that they don't have repsect for PC. Look at GTA Online - Rockstar only recently announced E&E features for PC despite the fact that those same features had been on console for over 2 years. We shouldn't be made to wait and be spoiled just because of our chosen platform.
